Misono Alicein



Misono Alicein (有栖院 御園, Arisuin Misono) is a 15 years-old boy and the youngest member of the Alicein household. He is the Eve of the seventh Servamp Lust, Snow Lilly.

Appearance
Misono has dark, short purple hair which is parted away from his face in the middle with a long strand of hair sticking up. His eyes are narrowed and purple like his hair. His form is small, slim and frail. He is the shortest out of all the main characters, excluding Hugh. He is often described as a pretty boy, even by Sakuya.

He is usually seen wearing his school uniform from Mikato Ichinose Academy. It consists of a jacket with the right side being black with a white inverted cross and the left side being purple with the same cross but black. It also has a white trim. He has a white long sleeved shirt underneath. He wears black slacks and black dress shoes.

Personality
Misono is a perfect example for what a tsundere character is like! By first meeting him he seems to be arrogant, impolite and cold towards others. But this only covers his kind and caring personality - with his unfriendly character he showes the people that he likes them and cares for them.

Because he was very lonely in his childhood having not a single friend, he now cherishes his new friends very much - especially Mahiru Shirota - who was his first true friend. And Mahiru understands, that Misono is a tsundere character and knows that he cares for him.

He's a very weak constitution, and yet, he wants to get stronger so that he is able to protect everyone. What he hates the most, is that it's usually him who is being protected by others. He is extremly bullheaded and allways wants to get his will - he only accepts the answers he wants to hear.

He is very, very sensitive when it comes to his height or his constitution.

Misono is a very caring guy and always worried about his friends. He likes to be an adult, but actually acts in many ways like a child - what is also fault of his father who wants to prevent him from become an adult. Mikado always tries to keep Misono safe in his garden, he still sees him as a child: therefore Misono gets to bed early (and can't stay awake much longer than 9-10 pm), he still makes him believe in santa claus and even treats him like a child.

Misono so is a spoiled character, that is afraid of many things little kids are afraid of like darkness or getting snow into his clothes or bubbles into is eyes. Because he never had friends in his childhood and was overprotected, he doesn't know the most games kids use to play like a snow ball fight - but he never admits, that he does not know something - he always pretends that he just wants to confirm that his knowledge of the rules are right.

When he was a child he was a very friendly and happy child according to what Mikuni and Mikado say. He in fact did  - and appearently does - love his older brother Mikuni, yet he calls him (like many other persons too) "Idiot" or "bastard".

History
Misono is born as the son of Mikado Alicein and Mikuni's teacher. Even as a child he had a very weak constitution and was even seen in a wheelchair on pictures from Mikuni.

In his first years he was raised by his mother until she was murdered by Mikuni's mother out of jealousy.

He then came into the Alicein household and loved to play with his new big brother Mikuni Alicein. Mikado and his wife wanted to love Misono just as they loved Mikuni - but Mikuni's mother wasn't able to. She tried to conceal it, but deep inside she felt a deep jealousy towards Misono too.

One day Mikuni's mother couldn't fight it any longer and tried to kill Misono - but Mikuni seemed to sense it and killed her before she is able to harm his little brother. Misono just walks in the room, when he sees the scenario. He must have been traumatized and after Mikuni and his Servamp Doubt Doubt left the house - Mikado ordered All of Love to erase Misono's memories of that scene and manipulate them so that he doesn't know why his brother really left the house anymore.

Without these memories of the past, Misono is able to live a happy childhood - and always when Misono tries to get near to the east wing of their villa, Lilly manipulates his thoughts so that Misono forgets where he wanted to go.

All of the employees in the Alicein household are forbidden to talk about Mikuni - and Mikado pretends, that Misono is his first and only son - though Misono does know about the existence of his elder brother.

Another day, after his grandfather has passed away, Misono finds All of Love walking alone in the garden - he then gives him the old watch he inherited by his grandfather and calls him "Snow Lilly". Now the contract is made and Lily serves his new eve Misono who ordered him to protect this house.

Due to his weak physique Misono mostly is kept inside the villa - he even has a house teacher named Hattori. Nevertheless he later attents a private school - but doesn't make any friends due to the same reason. His only friend is his servamp Snow Lilly.

Story
In the storyline he first appears in chapter four. Here he has sent Mahiru Shirota a message to get in contact with him.

He visits Mahirus school and "kidnaps" him with the help of two of Lilly's subclass. They get Mahiru inside the car and drive to the Alicein household. Here Misono tries Mahiru hand his Servamp Kuro over to him - threatening him with violence. Kuro and Mahiru then flee into a room of Lilly's subclasses. Lilly now explains them, that it is Tsubakis first goal to kill the subclass of the Servamps and Misono needs to become stronger in order to fight Tsubaki. Kuro would be able to help Misono to become stronger, but Mahiro is able to convince Misono, that their aims are the same and that they should work together.

Lilly now wants to organize a meeting of all the servamp and hands out an address to a online-community for vampires to Mahiru. Now it's exactly 9 pm and Misono falls into sleep - which seems to be normal for him.

Relationships
All of Love

Snow Lilly was formerly his Grandfather’s Servamp until he passed away which enabled Misono to ‘inherit’ him; using the watch he inherited from his grandfather Misono gave him a new name and formed a contract. They have a close relationship; Snow Lilly would often tease Misono and made sure he was taken cared for. In turn, Misono has shown to care for Snow Lilly, and trusts him greatly. It could be seen that Snow Lilly was protective over Misono, to an extent that he would manipulate his memories in order for him to never find out the truth about his birth.

Mahiru Shirota

On their first meeting Misono demand that Mahiru should hand over Kuro to them, however Mahiru's refusal prompted a fight. As Mahiru and Kuro tried to escape their attacks, they ended up into a room filled with Snow Lilly’s subclasses, which revealed that Misono wanted Kuro’s power to defeat Tsubaki. To Misono’s shock Mahiru offered to form an alliance, to which he agreed. Later, as they were discussing on gathering the other Servamps, Misono suddenly fell over, unconscious, shocking Mahiru in the process, however, his worry was short as Snow Lilly explained that Misono falls asleep at nine'o clock. Before leaving, Mahiru asked to exchange contact information, and told Misono to contact him if anything happens. Afterwards, it could be seen that Misono was helping Mahiru train with his Lead, it was also on that day that Mahiru promised to introduce Misono to his other friends, which entails that Mahiru also saw him as friend. Although at first he was reluctant, but later on Misono accepted their friendship and have become close.

It would seem that Misono cares about Mahiru, to the extent that he would even risk his life to protect him. He also felt ashamed that he was unable to protect Mahiru, which prompted his desire to become stronger. It could also be observed that he becomes genuinely concerned for Mahiru’s well-being, and would sometimes scold him for acting without a plan. It would also seem that Misono wanted to impress Mahiru, one such occasion was during their fight with Sakuya and Belukia; when they managed to subdue Belukia, Snow Lilly teased Misono saying “The practice paid off, after all you wanted to impress Mahiru”, to which Misono demanded him to shut up. Aside from his concern for Mahiru’s safety, he also seems to worry about Mahiru’s feelings, which Sakuya exploited in order to trick Misono into releasing his power.

HES GAY FOR HIM.
